Yankees Finish Off Angels

Well crap. The Yankees are going to the World Series. Great, now there will be even more shots of Kate Hudson during the games.


Ah well, it was a good series, but the Angels just came up a little short.


I'll be pulling for the Phillies, but as long as it's a great series, which I think it will be, I don't really care who wins it. This Tiger fan is really looking forward to watching the Indians best two pitchers face off against each other tomorrow night in Game 1.

Angels Stay Alive

What a great game that turned out to be. I was this close to turning it off when I decided to watch the Yankees bat in the 7th, figuring if the Angels shut them down that it would be over. What a great finish!


I bet Angels fans were loving it when Teixeira doubled in three in the 7th.


One of my favorite things about postseason baseball is watching starting pitchers make relief appearances. Jered Weaver was amazing in the 8th inning last night. Count me among those wondering if he would pitch the 9th.

On to NY for Game 6 Saturday night and hopefully a Game 7 Sunday night.

Ugh.....A Rod One Step Away From The World Series

I think the headline expresses my feelings rather succinctly.


Go Phillies!

Angels Cut The Yankees Lead

I love it when guys like Jeff Mathis get a chance for a little postseason glory. A great finish on a day of great finishes.


Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to see all of this great game. But I do have cards for Derek Jeter and Howie Kendrick.


Enjoy.

Yankees Take Series Lead

Not that I saw the end of it. I can't stay awake through games that start at 3 in the afternoon. This one never had a chance. I did see the Angels take a 3-2 lead, only to miss A Rod's HR while watching SNL Weekend Update.

I guess A Rod is becoming something of a postseason hero. How annoying. Overshadowed by his HR were two good pitching performances by Joe Saunders and A.J. Burnett.


Hopefully the Angels come back and make a series out of it in Los Angeles of Anaheim. I'm losing interest in this one fast.

Yankees cruise in Game 1

C.C. pitched another great game and Matsui drove in a pair.


This was a pretty boring game.

Say hello to a 2008 Chone Figgins.

Angels sweep Red Sox

I guess the Angels got tired of being the Red Sox' bitches. Wow.

I went to lunch when it was 5-1 Sox, expecting them to cruise to a win. I got home in the bottom of the 9th to see that things had happened that I missed yet again.


Congrats to the Angels, my new favorite team left in the playoffs.

I can't say I'm too sad to see Papelbon get slapped around though.....

Halos take two

I fell asleep with the score tied 1-1. I'm getting too old for west coast baseball. Especially when I open my first beer 5 hours earlier.....


The Red Sox are in deep doodoo. Hopefully Pedro can turn things around in Game 3.....

Congrats to Macier Izturis, which I think is Venezuelan for Mark Loretta.

Angels win opener

I slept through all of this one. Much like the Red Sox. Nothing more to add.
